Error importing Core server metrics dashboard

[clayton006]

When importing the template Core Server Metrics, the dashboard will load, but most disk related options will not populate. The error message on importing or switching to the dashboard is "Templating init failed - Error parsing query: found ., expected identifier, string, number, boot at line 1, char 81"

@clayton006 can you please provide your environment details so that I can try to reproduce the issue on my end? I would need to know:
1. The Linux version of the SQL machine that the collectd container is running on
2. The Linux version of the machine(s) that the Grafana and InfluxDB containers are running on
3. Are you using the templates that are provided in this repository?

[clayton006]

For 1) and 2) I tested with CentOS 7.3 and 7.4 3) Yes I am using the provided templates. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Hello, im facing the same issue tha Clayton006. Im trying to import the JSON on a CentOS.

If a run a JSON validator i get several errors.
In the file"core_sql_metrics.json" i get this error in validating:
The JSON input is NOT valid in JavaScript, illegally formed XML syntax (At line #645), (At position #71)

[felipeschneider88]

Taking a look to this line a found this:{ i believe the issue is with the { character.

[clayton006]

Sounds good. I’m actually on site as a SQL PFE performing a demo this week so if this gets fixed soon please let me know so I can pull the latest file.

@clayton006 / @felipeschneider88 - I just uploaded the core_server_metrics.json from a working dashboard. Can you please give it a try and let me know if that fixed your issue?

[clayton006]

Will do. I’ll try it here in a few moments. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
